Barenloch is one of my favorite local parks. Like many German parks it has a small restaurant, open in the summer that has a limited men.

The parklet idea has been reclaiming parking spaces and turning them into people spaces for a few years now. Here’s a collection of 11 parklets that have been completed in recent years. See them all on contemporist.

Paris, cinquieme arrondissement, really small pocket park in front of a church - you can walk through the plants on the wooden grid

At only acre, this is one of the smallest hidden parks in the city, but it provides a nice lush place to relax and take a break from the urban landscape. The crowning feature of the pocket park is the waterfall.
